Another day in the field. Fieldwork can be both rewarding and yet challenging. We face many challenges as pilots whether it be making quick decisions due to weather or deciding which spot to land in a confined area and whether it is sufficient to land our expensive sky chariot there or not. My point here is to do your due diligence and take the time to that extra reccee and make sure there are no surprises. Eg powerlines, tail rotor brush, sloping ground etc… it’s always worth the extra circle or two when it could prevent an expensive mistake. Don’t get complacent in your daily routines and keep on keepin on! Have a super rad day everyone and fly safe out there!!!

Another patch for the 212 boys here. Let me know your thoughts on these boys and girls. Would there be any interest in these? Or any ideas of some other designs? I’m looking getting some done in the near future and also some hats and merch… Let me know your thoughts in the comments folks! Hope everyone is staying sane out there if you’re waiting on fires! Bit of a slow start this season but I’m sure she’ll pick up soon. Anywho fly safe out there and have fun!!! Cheers everyone!

Happy Thursday y’all!!! So today I want your feedback on my first patch I designed. If y’all are interested in this one I will make some more and possibly get into some stickers n hats n such. Anyways this particular one is for those trips to the fishing lodge or ski lodge or wherever else your taxi services may take you before returning back to the barn. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. As always have a great day! Fly safe and have fun!

It’s Monday! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and enjoyed some Vitamin D!…. I wanna mix it up a bit today and ask you guys and gals if any of y’all may be interested in some heli swag?…. I’m thinking of getting into some little stuff to start and then expanding in the future. Have some cool ideas for hats, stickers, sweaters etc… in order to sell things on Skool there are additional fees so just putting the vibe out here first to see if there may be any interest? Thanks everyone! Have a great week! Fly safe out there and have FUN!!!

Today let’s talk about slingin humans… or meatballin as some like to call it. So many important things to talk about when slinging humans. Many advantages such as your load talks to you. Communication is very important in some cases but sometimes hand signals work just fine. It’s important to brief your crews accordingly and know your crews have the proper training to get the job done. Situational awareness as always is high on the list as well as CRM. Know your out and know your limits. Always be sure to do your high reccee as well as a low level pass before going into a spot for the first time. Also helpful to throw ticker tape down to mark your location for the return. Have your staging area and know where you’re going in the event of an emergency. Happy Hump day everyone! Fly safe and have fun!
